Propagate Plants from Cuttings

Save money on new plants by taking a cutting or two of those that perform best in your landscape. Jade, lavender, chrysanthemum, and butterfly bush are just a handful of plants that can be propagated from cuttings, usually in spring (see more from University of Georgia Extension about timing for various plants and how to take cuts). Snip a 6- to 8-inch piece of green growth, then remove all but just a few leaves at the top; also remove any flowers or flower buds. For most cuttings, pour some rooting hormone into a cup or onto paper and dip the cuttings in the powder before placing them in a pot or the ground. The propagated plant should take root in a few weeks.

Positively Purging-I welcome your feedbacks in the comments and your likes and passing the real life wisdom on to others as I embark on this new venture of “positively purging“, as I know each of these pieces represents something…

    I’m not a gifted gardener, but geraniums are my go-to plant for propagation and filling in gaps. They are very hardy and so easy to strike.
